The best part was the quiet atmosphere, which made it easy to have a conversation. The jazz piano music added to the ambiance beautifully.

We got take-out, clam chowder with focaccia and the Riva burger with fries. We ate it at home about 10 minutes later, so not piping hot, and still the best fries I’ve had in a while. The burger was amazing too, bacon jam yum. And my partner licked the bowl of his clam chowder!10/10.

As an Italian, I expect to experience a genuine Italian atmosphere when dining out, or at the very least, to have an Italian chef at the helm. I ordered fettuccine alla marinara but received tagliatelle with a basic tomato sauce instead. When I asked the waitress if my order was correct, she confirmed it was. I then pointed out that those were tagliatelle, not linguine, and that authentic marinara is typically served with seafood. Instead, I was served plain tagliatelle with tomato sauce for $37. No, thank you!
